Caoimhin Kelleher is to deputise in goal again after also playing the Carabao Cup final two and a half weeks ago, Liverpool’s last match. Alisson got a kick in the head on Brazil duty against Colombia on March 21 and flew home to England after withdrawing from that camp. Due to concussion protocols, Alisson had to follow a five-step process with at least 24 hours in between each one: no physical activity, light aerobic exercise, sport-specific exercise, non-contact training drills, full training. He then had to seek an all-clear from the club's medical officer which was not achieved.
